OUTSTANDING CIVIL WAR FLAG QUILT FROM THE BROOKS FAMILY OF MAINE. The patriotic quilt having a central field of seven red stripes and six white stripes with a center diamond having an arrangement of 34 white stars on a blue background. The outer border having a blue field with 34 white stars. Significant to the quilt is the stitching in the bottommost and topmost red stripes, one saying “Secession Never” and the other “Union Forever.” The following description was prepared by Lynne Z. Bassett who is considered to be the foremost expert on early American quilts. Though they could not vote, women in generations prior to the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920 held strong opinions on national matters. Without a ballot or a voice in the government, they often used their needles to give vent to their views. The Civil War elicited strong opinions among women, North and South, as they sent their husbands, sons, and brothers to the bloody battlefields. This period thus generated some of the most spectacular patriotic quilts in American history. This Civil War-era quilt is designed with a central diamond of 34 white stars (one for each state in the union) appliquéd on a blue field, set on a background of thirteen red and white stripes. Thirty-four white stars appliquéd on blue forms a border around the edges. It is a visually graphic statement, unmistakable in its viewpoint. More subtle in appearance, but just as strong in emotion is the maker’s opinion, quilted in the top and bottom red stripes: “Union Forever,” and “Secession Never.” Descended in the Brooks family of Maine, this quilt may have been stitched by Asenath (Hersom) Brooks (1808-1895), wife of William Brooks (1800-1883) of Brownfield. The oldest of their five children, John H. Brooks (1829-1862), battled for the Union as a private in the 11th Maine Infantry, serving in Virginia. The quilt is all cotton, and is entirely hand-stitched. Leaves on a vine are quilted around the circle of stars within the central medallion, while a chain design surrounds the medallion itself. A similar quilted chain undulates around the stars of the border. The red and white stripes feature quilting in clamshells, S-curved lines, stars, and floral motifs. The quilting thread colors vary, so that they blend into the red, white, and blue fabric; there are approximately six to seven quilting stitches per inch. Three strips of plain white cotton fabric comprise the backing, and the edges are bound with straight-grain red cotton. Minor yellowing does not diminish the vibrancy of this patriotic quilt. Scattered flyspecks and small brown spots can be alleviated with professional conservation.In sum, this quilt is an important document of American history, providing a tangible link to the traumatic era of the Civil War and to the people who experienced it. SIZE: 69” x 80-1/2”. CONDITION: Minor yellowing and scattered small brown spots and fly specks, generally very good. 9-74511 FP (25,000-50,000)

OUTSTANDING NEEDLEWORK EMBROIDERED WOOL QUILT FROM THE DYER FAMILY. Late 18th or early 19th Century. This fabulous folk art quilt descended through the Dyer family who originated in Plymouth, Mass. moving to Vinalhaven, and then to the central Maine area. The following description was prepared by Lynne Z. Bassett who is considered to be the foremost expert on early American quilts. Embroidered and pieced wool quilts are probably the rarest type of eighteenth- or nineteenth-century American bed covering.[1] While they are not unique to New England, the majority originated from this region. Most wool bed covers that feature embroidery are either bed rugs (a single-layer textile with the entire surface covered with embroidery stitches), or fancy blankets, with overall floral designs or designs worked within the squares of a woven checked pattern. The maker of the Dyer family quilt presented herself with a particularly laborious challenge: creating a design using multiple techniques—piecing, quilting, and embroidery (any one of which might be deemed sufficient by most early nineteenth-century needlewomen). This beautiful quilt is the most recent discovery in this genre of bed covering. Measuring 99 inches long by 115 inches wide, it features cut-out corners to accommodate the bed’s foot posts. The main fabric, a plain-woven light brown wool, was probably produced in the home, as was the pale yellow, plain-woven backing fabric, which has a wool weft and factory-spun cotton warp. The center section of the top is pieced with fine black broadcloth (commonly used for men’s suit coats), in squares measuring approximately nine inches in each direction, set on point and alternating with the brown wool. The twenty-nine-inch-wide drops on the sides and bottom are not pieced. The quilting, accomplished at about six stitches per inch, is worked in two-ply worsted thread (brown or blue, depending on the fabric being quilted). A pattern of concentric right-angle points directed towards the center is quilted in each brown block, while the drops are quilted in a triple diamond trellis design, with four-lobed motifs filling the openings of the trellis pattern. The black blocks are simply quilted in parallel lines. Wool fleece provides the batting, and a gray-green worsted fabric, cut on the straight grain, binds the edges. Wool quilts are typically finished with a knife edge (the raw edges turned in and topstitched), so this binding is somewhat unusual. Wool yarn embroidery, beautifully executed in outline, chain, and surface satin stitches, embellishes the twenty squares and fourteen triangles of the black broadcloth. Interestingly, the wool yarns used are not crewel, nor are they Berlin yarns; they are slightly hairy and may have been homespun. The orangey-red, pale green, yellow, blue, and dark pink (along with white) colors were easily achievable with dyes procured from surrounding vegetation and the local country store. The consistency of the colors indicates an expert dyer. Most of the squares and triangles feature floral designs: spriggy flowers growing out of baskets and small vessels, flowers arranged in a grid, and flowers simply sprouting from the edges of the block. The black broadcloth background enriches their colors. The four blocks across the top of the quilt, where they would have covered the pillows, feature unusual motifs and give this quilt particular interest. Two of the blocks feature fish, simply outlined in yellow, red, and green chain stitches, laid side-by-side. The larger fish are decorated with simple lazy daisy stitches, worked in a manner as if to suggest the glistening body of the wet fish. The three fins across the top of the fish and two underneath suggest that these are cod, the most important staple of the New England fishing industry. A two-masted sailing ship in another block undoubtedly represents a fisherman’s vessel. An American eagle, with wings outspread, arrows held in its talons, and a shield design representing its body, decorates the fourth block. Clearly, the quilter wished to manifest her pride in the new United States of America and in the New England fishing industry. Every detail of this quilt—the fabrics, quilting design, and embroidery motifs—suggests a date of the early nineteenth century. The Dyer family history is also consistent with an early nineteenth century date. The Dyers, who were Mayflower descendants, moved from Plymouth, Massachusetts, to Vinalhaven, Maine, in the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century. Both of these communities depended a great deal on the fishing industry. In the mid-nineteenth century, the family moved inland to the Augusta area, so a quilt with fish motifs seems less likely to be a pictorial quilt subject. The quilt is in overall good condition. The wool fabric has faded slightly along the left side, appearing more brown than along the right side, which has more red to its color. There are scattered small holes due to insect damage scattered throughout the quilt. The back fabric reveals that an alkaline-type liquid once spilled on it, as it has a large moisture stain with deterioration of the wool yarns while the cotton yarns are largely undamaged. Most importantly, the top is in very good condition, with little to mar its delightful design. The Dyer family embroidered wool quilt is a wonderful example of this rare form of bedcover, offering excellent workmanship, a folk art design that is not only pleasing but meaningful, and a history within one of the longest-standing New England families.SIZE: 99”l x 115”w. CONDITION: The quilt is in overall good condition, with some fading and small holes due to insect damage scattered throughout the quilt. The back having a stain and generally the top is in very good condition with little to detract from its folk art appeal. [1] A quick survey of publications and inquiries to museums netted fewer than a dozen examples; not considered were wool crazy quilts. 9-73890 FP (30,000-50,000)

ANTONIO NICOLO GASPARO JACOBSEN (American, 1850-1921) THE LARGEST JACOBSEN PAINTING IN THE WORLD: THE CLYDE LINE’S “S.S. APACHE”. Monumental oil on canvas ship portrait of the “Apache”. To our knowledge, the largest painting that Jacobsen ever produced. This painting appears in the Jacobsen Checklist and its dimensions are by far larger than any recorded there. The S.S. Apache with completed in August 1891 by the Reeder & Sons, of Baltimore, MD and weighed 416 tons being 190’ in length. Made of an iron hull and housed three guns. The Apache was the first to establish a direct passenger service between New York and Miami. The Apache was also featured on many postcards and tourist ephemera in the southern U.S. This monumental canvas shows the black hulled three-deck steamer traveling right to left with low points of land off bow and stern which is believed to be Florida. A three-mast sailing ship is moored off its port bow and several sails are seen on horizon. Three men in a dory row away from boat. Name is emblazoned on the front bow as well as on top of the pilot house. The Apache ship flag off front mast, the Company flag off back mast. The U.S. flag flies off the stern, all on a choppy white tip greenish/blue water. Signed lower right and dated “1917”. Housed in a magnificent 7” reeded gilt frame with gold liner. This painting by Antonio Jacobsen was originally de-accessed by the Seamans Church Institute on New York City. In 1999 the painting was conserved by Yost Studio in New York City. The restoration included the removal of the old wax lining and relining with beva. The old over paint was stripped off and the painting was cleaned and properly restored. Most of the current inpainting applied by the Yost team was to conceal staining or discoloration which occurred during the process of aging. It appears that the owner’s of the Apache took extremely great pride in the ship since their commission to Jacobsen for its portrait is apparently the largest Jacobsen ever produced. A very dramatic and handsome Marine ship portrait by one of the most remound ship portrait artist’s. SIZE: 47-3/4” x 95-1/2”. CONDITION: Some restoration with inpainting, craquelure.
